Clad Pipe for Mining & Slurry
Corrosion-resistant piping for Australia's longest slurry pipelines. Duplex stainless liners that survive pH < 2 mine waters and abrasive slurries.
The Challenge
Mining slurries and tailings contain chlorides, sulfates, and acids at pH below 2 — destroying carbon steel pipes within months. Western Australia operates slurry pipelines up to 300 km long; corrosion failure is not an option. Unplanned shutdowns from pipe failure cost millions per day in lost production.
The ZONX Solution
DURACORE clad pipes with duplex stainless (2205) or super-duplex (2507) liners withstand the most aggressive mine waters and slurries. RSP™ bonding strength ≥ 0.8 MPa ensures the liner stays bonded under abrasion, pressure, and thermal cycling — even at field weld joints.
Typical Applications
- Long-distance concentrate slurry, Western Australia
- Tailings and dewatering systems
- HVAC chilled water and process piping at mine sites
- Acid mine drainage conveyance
